Chicago. Pittsburg and Kansas City in the
west 1t is almost a foregone conclusion,
however. that indianapolis name will appear
on the list for 1888.
But Glasscock and Denny remained TO be
disposed Of The solution of this prisoner
puzzle" of baseballism came in quite an unex-
pected manner The great and only Mike
Kelly. the champion batsman of the League
and the crack catcher. right fielder and base
runner of the Chicago club ever since looO,
had a difficulty some months ago with Presi-
dent Spading and has since repeatedly de
clared that he would never again play with
his old love Having become convinced that
Kelly really meant what he said and would
sooner submit 10 being blackllsted than give
in. Spalding concluded to do his utmost to
get Glasscock. There was no trouble what
ever in disposing of Kelly, who was sold to
Boston for $4,000 he getting a salary Of
s.. 600 a season. SO the Gordian knot has at
last been cut and nobody Is any worse of, as
of the four great players mentioned Ill tins
article. Dunlap isnow with Detroit, Kelly goes
10 Boston. New York will have Denny, while
Chicago will be consoled for Kelly's loss by
Glasscock.
There is at the present time a demand
among baseball managers for young blood"
which amounts almost 20 craze, and 1t Is
question whether the thing is not being over
done. Young Van Haltren, Of San Fran
cisco, has been doing some magnificent work
for the California clubs, and lured on by this,
President Nimick, of the Pttsburgs, jour
neyed all the way to the Golden Gate to
capture this alleged phenomenon. With very
little trouble he succeeded III procuring Van
Haltrens signature to contract short time
after his arrival. Van Haltren is said to
have had several hattering offers from east
ern League and Association teams, but this as
sertion is not to he accepted without some
reservations. He may prove TO be the great
pitcher he is said to be, but he will find that
the Detroits. for instance, will hit him harder
t5dn the country clubs in California 1t is
very much more probable that he will "fizzle
out" much as did young Devlin, of Troy,
whom the New Yorks signed last season.

FACTS AND HEARSAYS.

Mr.. Reed was on the floor of the House
after an absence of several days.
The conferrees on the postoffice apprO-
priation bill reported a disagreement on
the subsidy amendment.
The national bank notes received yes
terday by the Treasurer for redemption
amounted to 100000.
National bank notes to the amount Of
81, ,447,7S5 have been received for re-
demption during the week.
Colonel Lamont has been summoned
to his home in Cortland county, n. Y, by
the serious illness of his father.
A petition from the clergymen of this
city in favor of uniform laws in reference
to marriage and divorce, has been pre-
sented to the House.
The House Committee on Agriculture
has unanimously agreed to recommend
concurrence in the Senate amendments
to the bill creating a department of agri-
culture and labor. The principal amend
ment transfers the Weather Bureau from
the War to that department.
A strong feeling exists at the Capitol
that an extra session of the Senate at
least will have to be called. Mr.. Beck
says that the appropriation bills cannot
be finished up in five days. Senators like
Edmunds and Harris claim that newly
created officers like the interstate com
merce commissioners cannot be appointed
during a recess, and if appointed cannot
qualify nor serve.
The stage of the session has arrived
when interest is being rapidly concen-
trated in the conference committees.
Little legislation can now be accomp-
lished that has not reached this stage. Or
the bills in the conference committee the
prophets are saying that the Northern Pa
cific railroad land forfeiture bill will fail;
that the repeal of the land laws will fail; /;
that the postoffice appropriation confer
rees will disagree on the subsidy amend
ment; that the District appropriation
conferrees will increase the House bill
about half as much as the Senate pro-
poses; that the House will accept most
of the Senate amendments to the fIac-
tional gallon tax bill, and that the House
will accept the Senate changes in the Pa
cific railroad investigation resolution,
with the exception, perhaps, OF that fix
ing the salaries of commissioners.

For ,iIIi,. and for "A Cent.

It has recently been stated that two OF the
arrest checks for money ever drawn IN New
York have Just been framed; the first for
81 600. GOO. sicned by c. Vanderbilt, and the
second for $G.OOO,O00, signed by w. H. Van
'lerbilt.
When | was a clerk in the banking house OF
JAY Cooke & Co., 100000 checks were not
so uncommon as TO be thought worthy OF
framing. At that time, about 1868, the
government was converting the 7-3o notes IN
10 new 5-21s. Jay Cooke & Co. used fire.

THE BASEBALL WORLD.
Sale of Kelly to the Boston Club for
$4,000.

Baseball circles have been in state Of un-
wonted excitement during hepast few weeks
owing to the large bids being made by Chi
cago and New York for Glasscock and Denny
of the practically defunct st. Louis
"Maroons." To thoroughly explain the mat
ter, it will be necessary to go back TO last
season.
1t is generally known that the St Louis
League team, for the admission OF which into
the League and the reinstatement of Fred Dun
lap fabulous sum was paid by Mr.. II. V.
Lucas. proved white elephant on the hands
of its projectors When Mr.. Lucas sold the
franchise bodily to a syndicate late in the sea-
son. this suspicion resolved itself into GER
tainty. There were in the St. Louis team at
that time three players as good at any in the
country. These were Fred Dunlap, John
Glasscock and Jerry Denny. Naturally all
of the League clubs wanted one or more OF
the trio. but none of them except Detroit felt
warranted in paying the large prices at which
they were held, but the wolverines" bought
Dunlap
Some time ago there was talk of kicking
Kansas City out Of the League. and this re-
port having come 10 the ears Of the president
of the Cowboys" he at once set about devils
ing a plan for frustrating this charitable
action upon the part of the League. He went
TO St Louis and bought their franchise, to-
gether with all of the players excepting Den
nv and Classcock Then he awaited develop
ments, which were not long in coming, and
which go TO vindicate the sOundness Of his
judgment
The Leagues great anxiety TO get rid OF
both St Louis and Kansas City has never
been properly understood They admitted
?ittsburg some time ago, and this gave them
a ninth club. which made the mapping out of
a paying schedule almost an impoSSibllity.
But it will be urged that, having practically
got rid of st. Louis, they could have no OBJ
ject in disfranchising Kansas City. This,
however, is a mistake The latter city is not
a good one in a basebsll sense of the word, and
besides it is too long jump for any club to
make. especially with st. Louis out; and
besides, indianapolis has been for two sea-
sons exceedingly anxious TO get into the
League and recently raised $4,000 as
an evidence of sincerity The admission Of
indianapolis and the expulsion Of Kansas
City would give the League eight good
clubs in a nice, easy and comparatively mex

Charleston Shaken Again.

CHARLESTON, S. c., February 90
About 8 o'clock this morning a slight
earthquake shock was felt here. At
Summeryille and the adjacent country
the shock continued five seconds The
direction of the wave was from west to
east. In one house vase was thrown
down, but no damage was done any
where. The shock was so slight that
many persons sleeping at the time were
not disturbed. This is the first disturb
ance worth mentioning since the begin
ming Of the new year.

Mexican Murders.

ORIzABA, MEX, Februry 26.-Luis Val

night to celebrate the termination of his
first year in Office, to which he asked an
old enemy of his, Ignacio Berlin. At the
entertainment Valdez became drunk and
tried, at the point of a pistol to make
Berlin, who was temperance man,
drink. On the latter refusing he blew
out his brains. Valdez is now using his
court influence to prevent any proceed
ings being taken against him.

Interesting Incidents and Gossip.
XLIXth CONGRESS.
Senate.


WASHINGTON, February 26.-The Gre
dentials Of Mr.. Reagan, as Senator from
Texas, and Mr.. Bate, as Senator from
Tennessee, were presented and placed on
file
In the latter case Mr. Hoar remarked
that the credentials were accompanied by
a paper purporting to be commission
from the Governor as if the Senator was
State officer. He suggested that that
paper should be returned to Mr.. Bate.
The presiding officer said that that
course would be taken.
At o'clock the presiding officer inter
rupted the proceedings and stated that
the hour had arrived for administering
the oath of office to his successor as
President pro tenn. He returned thanks
to the Senate for its kind courtesy and
forbearance.
After Mr.. ingalls, had taken and sub
scribed to the oath Of office he took the
chair, and said that while he would in
evitably suffer disparagement by contrast
with the parliamentary learning, skill,
urbanity, and accomplishments of hi3
illustrious predecessor, he would strive to
excel him in greatful appreciation Of the
distinguished honor conferred.
A vote of thanks was then, on motion
of Mr.. Harris, given to the retiring pre-
siding officer
The speaker laid before the House a
letter from General Sheridan inviting on
behalf of the society of the Grand Army
of the Cumberland, the members of the
House of Representatives to attend the
ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue
of the late MajorGeneral James A. Gar
field, to take place in Washington, May
18th next. In view of the fact that Con-
gress will not be in session on that date,
the General suggests that it would be
gratifying to the society should the
Speaker appoint committee to attend
the unveiling ceremonies, and officially
represent the House of Representatives.
Referred.
The space in front of the Speak
er's table was crowded with members
eager to catch the eye of the presiding
officer and to make requests for unani-
nous consent, but as each was recognized
there came a demand for the regular or
der from some members sitting in the
rear of the hall, and no business was
transacted. Finally the Speaker recOg-
nized Mr. Willis, who moved that the
rules be suspended and the Senate amend
ment to the river and harbor appropria-
tiOn bill be nOn-cOncurred in.
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, demanded
the record pending which Mr. Hepburn,
of Iowa. moved that the House adjourn,
and pending this motion, that when the
House adjourned it be to meet on Tues
day next
The latter motion the Speaker ruled
to be out of order, pending a motion to
suspend the rules, and the motion to adj
jOurn was lost.
Mr.. Hepburn then demanded the read
ing of the bill.

REVIEW.

New York. February 26 6-To-day's mar
ket has been very dull one, the severe snow
storm probably impeding business to GER
tain extent, and the unfavorable bank state
ment also checking speculation. 1t is very
difficult to understand the market under ex-
isting conditions; but we still believe that
the substratum is a solid one and that ere
long we may look for some revival of specu-
lation on the part Of the public which at
present is 50 conspicously absent. The re-
turns of the trunk lines are still very favora-
bile. and give indication Of the satisfactory
condition of the general business Of the
country.
Granting all this, however, we may, in the
absence Of speculation have to be patient
for a time; but we do not see where the ele-
ments for any serious decline exist Prices

Sunday afternoon. it being the third of a
series which have been held in the contest
for the prize badge, a very beautiful and
quite costly one presented to the club by
Charles Blindt. Under the rules, the
member who wins the prize three times in
succession was to become its individual
owner. John Schuneman, who had won
the badge at two prior contests, was again
successful on Sunday, and was awarded
the badge.
